Chapter 869 "Wolf Warrior 2"
"Director Zhou, I have a drama, why don't you help me watch it?"
At this time, Wu Jing, who was hitting a wall in the entertainment industry, restrained her temper, but she smiled at Zhou Yuwen and even had a arched body.
There is no way, Wu Jing doesn't want to do this. It's really cruel. When filming Wolf Warrior 1, the investment was only tens of millions, but the final box office was 550 million. This shows that the military-themed movies can still make money. Although they make little money, they are at least the type they like.
And there is one advantage in making such a movie, that is, it can promote national power and promote positive energy. If it can be faced by the country, it will not be as simple as making money.
So Wu Jing feels that if she wants to shoot Wolf Warrior 2, at least she has no shortage of investment.
In fact, he was also talking to a few old brothers. Wu Jing smiled and said, "Brother, are you going to shoot Wolf Warrior 2! Support it?"
"It's easy to say, how much does it cost?"
"Two million!"
"Ahem, that, Jing'er, I'll have something to do later, so I won't be with you anymore?"
When shooting Wolf Warrior 1, everyone is willing to invest money to play with you because your value is tens of millions. We are willing to play with you. In fact, if you make 550 million yuan in box office, it is true that you have not lost money. But if you open your mouth, you will have 200 million yuan. If you get 500 million yuan in box office again, it is equivalent to spending money and wasting time with you. Who would you like to give this?
Your military film is a niche movie, can you still make a box office of one billion?
This incident was a joke for anyone to hear before the Wolf Warrior came out.
Wu Jing thought that what he could do was difficult, but it was difficult. Everyone knew that he was attracting investment, so he immediately avoided it. Some people persuaded you to say why are you doing this? Isn’t it good to make millions of movies on a few TV series?
At this time, Wu Jing said righteously, "No, you must shoot it, so that the people of the country can know our strength!"
So Wu Jing broke the blame and his wife had a special conflict with him, saying that Wu Jing was a lunatic.
If you are crazy, just crazy. Wu Jing only said that she doesn’t know whether this movie is profitable or not, but she will definitely not lose money. If she really loses money, then she will make bad movies in the rest of her life and pay back the money...
So in this way, Wu Jing worked hard to get 120 million yuan in investment, but there was still 80 million yuan left but he couldn't get it anyway. Wu Jing's idea at that time was to invest while filming.
As a result, the investment was not brought up. The actress felt that filming this scene was tiring and hard, and she received little money. She said she would either have to pay or change people, right?
If he had money, Wu Jing would definitely not change people. The problem was that he really had no money at that time, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and say that the money was spent on airplanes and cannons. Do you like to do it or not?
So the actress went on strike and Wu Jing was surrounded by enemies. If she could not afford the 80 million investment, it would be a question whether the movie could be filmed.
At this time, my friend Liu called Wu Jing and said that he could invest 80 million yuan. However, Wu Jing forced a smile and said let's take a look.
At the beginning of this year, Wu Jing was invited to participate in this film festival. Seeing Zhou Yuwen who was as bright as the stars, he was actually very hesitant. Should he give it a try?
But looking at Zhou Yuwen's little face, he really doesn't look like a person with good vision.
But I heard that Zhou Yuwen is good at exploring people's talents. Anyone who is attracted by Zhou Yuwen will basically become popular. The original director of the movie "Ex-Strategy" is Tian Yusheng. Because of filming a "Ex-Strategy" and now it is very popular. Happy Mahua used to be a drama club, and she became famous all the time because of Zhou Yuwen.
Even the unknown little online singer became popular because of Zhou Yuwen's appreciation.
So what does Zhou Yuwen think of his script?
Thinking of this, Wu Jing mustered up the courage to send the script to Zhou Yuwen, not expecting Zhou Yuwen to spend money to invest, but at least Zhou Yuwen would have to give him a affirmation?
Zhou Yuwen, a well-known mentor in the entertainment industry, can at least add some confidence to himself once he gets his recognition.
To be honest, Wu Jing’s handling of scripts is quite abrupt. With Zhou Yuwen’s current status, I don’t know how many people want to submit scripts to Zhou Yuwen.
How could Zhou Yuwen read all of them?
So when Zhou Yuwen saw the script he handed over, before he could say anything, Ms. Yang next to her was a little displeased. She knew that there was a person like Wu Jing in the entertainment industry, but the two were not familiar with each other and were not an actor in the same area. So she took the script directly and said in a business manner: "Okay, I will help Mr. Zhou to collect the script, and I will give you a reply after reading it."
This is to refuse, but Wu Jing had no choice but to smile awkwardly: "Okay, please give me a hint."
Just as he was about to leave, Zhou Yuwen said, "Are you filming the second part of the Wolf Warrior recently?"
After hearing this, Wu Jing couldn't help but feel happy: "Do you know?"
Zhou Yuwen nodded: "I have seen it, and the shooting is very good."
"Yes! I think what I lack in China now is military-themed movies. Look, this year after year, one movie after another, but which one is military-themed? When I filmed Wolf Warrior 1, I didn't think much about it, so I spent tens of millions of investments, and ended up earning 500 million in the box office! Wolf Warrior 2, I have put a lot of thought into it,"
"How much money are you missing?" Before Wu Jing finished speaking, Zhou Yuwen interrupted Wu Jing and asked.
Wu Jing was stunned. Everyone next to him was stunned. He knew that Zhou Yuwen liked to be unconventional in his work, but he never thought that he would be so unconventional. He didn't even read the script and asked directly how much it cost?
Just kidding?
At this time, Zhou Yuwen took the script from Miss Yang and said lightly: "There is indeed a lack of excellent military movies in China. When we make movies, we cannot just watch how much money we can make or how many celebrities we can make. Instead, we think about what this movie can bring to society? Can it have a positive impact on the audience."
"Movies are never a means of making money, but an embodiment of art. Different movies are different art. Nowadays, most movies make money. The rest of them all flock to the crowd. My first movie is Youth, and then a group of people ran to make youth films."
"When Charlotte became furious, another group of people filmed a time travel film."
"The ex-professional guide has become popular recently, and there are a lot of goodbye exes. Hello, ex."
"This phenomenon is very bad. Why can we say that it is meaningful films such as Titanic and Shawshank redemption be filmed abroad, but we are not good at home because we are too impetuous. Filmmakers look at money and investors look at money. Excellent works are not appreciated. Our market is getting bigger and bigger, but the quality of works is getting worse and worse. I think the filmmakers here have a great responsibility."
Zhou Yuwen spoke a magnificent saying, and the people next to him were silently embarrassed.
It took a while before someone reacted and slapped his hands and said, "Yes, yes, what Director Zhou said is so true!"
"Yes! He is a big director after all! The realm is different!"
“Yes, yes!”
Then there was a sound of flattery, but I couldn't help but contempt in my heart, did this guy make money and become drifty, and he was fucking talking about his feelings?
Can sentiment be eaten as a meal?
Of course, you guys are photographed by excellent works? We only have so much money in our hands, so how can we have time to play with you?
Zhou Yuwen's words made Wu Jing cry. He was ashamed of his underestimation of Zhou Yuwen just now. He never thought that Zhou Yuwen had such a big mood.
Compared to him, Wu Jing felt that she was old.
Zhou Yuwen asked Wu Jing again, how much does it cost?
"Eight, no, 50 million, give me 50 million, I will make this movie for you!" Wu Jing promised.
Zhou Yuwen said: "I will give you 200 million yuan. Are you confident that you can make this movie?"
"???" Wu Jing was stunned.
The people next to him were also stunned.
What a good guy! He is indeed a rich man. He has no place to spend money when he makes money? He only has 200 million!?
That’s awesome, Wu Jing made a profit!
"Are you confident?" Zhou Yuwen asked.
"I'm so confident! Don't worry! I will definitely not let you down!" Wu Jing said.
Zhou Yuwen nodded: "For specific matters, please contact Sister Mi,"
As he said that, he gave the script to Miss Yang again. From beginning to end, he didn't even read the script. Many people watched Zhou Yuwen swaying back and forth with the script in his hand but didn't even look at it. He felt funny.
Everyone understood that Zhou Yuwen had made enough money after filming his ex's strategy, and now he started to make fame. Wu Jing was also lucky. She suddenly appeared at this time, and then Zhou Yuwen directly spent 200 million!
Now, Zhou Yuwen has become famous in the entertainment industry, and has gone from a young director who makes commercial films to a mentor who supports filmmakers in pursuit of their dreams.
It’s just a pity that these 200 million were spent in vain.
After returning to the hotel, Ms. Yang was still puzzled by Zhou Yuwen’s operation just now and said, “You just want to invest. Since he wants 50 million, wouldn’t you just give him 50 million? Why just give 200 million? Isn’t this obviously a loss-making transaction?”
"Why is it just a loss of money? You know his movie will definitely lose money?" Zhou Yuwen took off his coat there indifferently.
"You didn't even read the script!" Miss Yang blurted out directly. It would be a big mistake if you don't lose money. You just have money to burn, and you just need to invest 200 million additional investment? Can you make money? You didn't even read the script, how do you make money?
The more I thought about it, the more angry she became, Ms. Yang couldn't help but say, "I know, people in the circle recently said that you are a scoundrel and can only make money by selling feelings. Some people criticized you for not understanding movies, but they just say whatever they like,"
Miss Yang was talking nonstop there, and Zhou Yuwen was too lazy to pay attention to her, so she sat on the sofa and looked at the street view outside the window.
"Husband, are you talking to you!" Miss Yang was a little angry, walked over and turned Zhou Yuwen's head over to look at him.
Chapter completed!
